The midfielder of the Racing Club in Strasbourg, Rabby Nzingoula, was severely sanctioned by the disciplinary commission of the LFP. Following a red card received during the match against Monaco last Sunday, Nzingoula received three games of firm suspension and a suspended match. This decision follows a gesture of exasperation committed at the end of the game, in the additional time, where he seized Jordan Teze, Monaco player, by the neck.
The incident occurred at a time when Nzingoula believed that he had been the victim of a fault not whistled by Teze at the beginning of the action. This gesture, considered an attitude of bad faith, led the referee to show him the red. The Disciplinary Commission took into account the context of the meeting and the seriousness of the gesture in issuing this sanction.
This suspension represents a hard blow for the Racing Club in Strasbourg, which will have to do without Rabby Nzingoula for a significant period. The LFP decision emphasizes the importance of compliance with rules and fair play on the ground. The Strasbourg team will now have to reorganise in the absence of its midfielder, and Nzingoula will have to bear the consequences of his gesture.
